“Betrayal, heartache, and violence are what the new Team Spike have to look forward to in the post-Hellmouth landscape we’re calling Ring of Fire,” said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. “You know, all the good stuff! They think evil has landed in Los Angeles, but what they’ll find is that it’s been there all along, and the source they discover is staggering.”

Angel & Spike #9 features a main cover by Dan Panosian and variant covers by Vanesa R. Del Ray, Scott Buoncristiano, and Jonas Scharf. It's set for release on February 26th, 2020.
